Powder King is a ski resort in the Pine Pass, which traverses the Hart Ranges of the Northern Rockies in northern British Columbia, Canada along Highway 97. It boasts considerable amounts of snowfall, which makes this out-of-the-way resort a worthwhile destination.

Most of the runs are named after the Beatles because of PK's opening in the 1960's
